I knew it wouldn't take long !!! Theres always someone that likes to put words into other people's mouths. I assume you agree with my statement that putting a dog that isn't game against a game dog is sick ? If you do then nuff said because thats all I said.
I think we happen to think it's sick to put two 'game' dogs together as well. They have only instincts and reactions to threats. As their owners, we're supposed to be smarter than them.
I want to thank those that are open-minded and are able to consider some of the posts from www.game-dog.com. I also would like to apologize for the posts by members that may have offended others.
Properly bred American Pit Bull Terriers, such as Mr. Boudreax's, are not people aggressive in any sense. It has been bred out of them. Mr. Boudreax's dogs are the foundation for a alot, if not most, pit bulls in existence. That is why pit bulls are not human aggressive. Look up American Pit Bull Terrier on www.atts.org and compare the numbers to the beloved Border Collie, Cocker Spaniel and many other breeds. The numbers speak for themselves.
The problem lies within improper raising and breeding. The sad truth is that the pit bull has become a status symbol to many and the breed has been bred for color and size in the heightening of that status symbol. In this process, the admirable qualities of this breed, such as temperment, have been ignored and unimportant qualities, such as size, have been sought out.
When you have people that have no true knowledge of the breed outside of color and how the dog may portray themselves, you begin having a real problem. The dogs lacking in the admirable qualities are sold in mass quantities to immature and irresponsible people that may use the dog improperly and encourage human aggression. www.game-dog. is absolutely against this in any form. We are for the preservation of our breed in it's true form. This way the breed's many admirable qualities may be maintained. This does not mean dogfighting. There are many other ways to have our dogs "prove" themselves. This includes, but not limited to, weight pull and conformation.
The actions or comments by a select few members of www.game-dog.com should not represent the majority, who has a true love and admiration of what we feel to be the smartest, most loyal, tempermentally sound, and loving dog in the world.
I think putting two dogs together to fight whether they are equal or unequal is sick. I think whether you encourage your equal dogs to fight or allow them to fight is sick. I think dog fighting, cock fighting, bull fighting or any other of these blood sports is sick and appeals to sick people. I approve of horse racing rodeo and the hunting of wild animals.
